AI DEVELOPMENT WILL LEAD TO WIDER STABLECOIN ADOPTION
As crypto continues to make headlines at the individual state level as well as the federal level, the race between crypto and AI for most mentions in financial media continues to volley back and forth depending on the week in question.
Recently the spat between Elon Musk and Sam Altman made additional headlines as the two tech titans feuded publicly regarding the future of OpenAI, headlines connected to the potential investment into OpenAI by Softbank, as well as the idea of a purchase (to be led by Musk) of OpenAI for approximately $100 billion.
Crypto has also generated significant headlines in recent days, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell (seemingly) backtracked on previous statements and actions related to crypto banking opportunities in testimony to Congressional leaders.
At the same time, even more states have begun the process of introducing legislation to allow direct investment into bitcoin and other digital assets, with Wyoming continuing to forge ahead with efforts to issue a dollar-backed stable token maintaining positive momentum.
Even as bitcoin and the concept of a digital asset stockpile move forward, stablecoins are also accelerating in terms of market capitalization, usage, and the education of policymakers and potential users alike.
In the midst of these market headlines, it would be easy to overlook a simple yet powerful truth about the future of AI, crypto, and how these industries will continue to evolve and influence each other over time. Let’s take a look at how (and why) stablecoins will play a critical role in the further development and integration of AI across businesses in the near to medium term.
Stablecoins Will Power Payments
As the adoption and understanding of the benefits of tokenized payments become better understood the appetite and investment into stablecoin payments has continued to increase.
Privately issued stablecoins, by non-bank entities, are worth in excess of $200 billion dollars with the volume of transactions continuing to increase.
TradFi institutions across the globe have developed and implemented blockchain-based solutions and token-based solutions for internal clients, with PayPal, Visa, and Mastercard embracing similar trends; PayPal has even issued a native stablecoin to facilitate stablecoin transactions even further.
Bitcoin and other more volatile cryptoassets, including the much-maligned memecoin space, generate headlines, but stablecoins reflect the best of both worlds for crypto transactions.
The speed and efficiency of tokenized transactions, when coupled with the stability of stablecoins or stable tokens, present a business case that is difficult to argue against.
Reinforced by the prioritization of dollar-backed stablecoins in the recent executive order issued by the White House and the landscape looks primed for a dynamic year for stablecoin adoption.

BRICS STATEMENT PUSHES DE-DOLLARIZATION, DESPITE TRUMP WARNING
As geopolitical tensions rise, both the West and the global South have shown no desire to relent in their positions. Indeed, a recent BRICS statement regarding the 2025 summit has pushed further de-dollarization despite US President Donald Trump’s most recent tariff warning.
This week, Trump once again reiterated his strong message to the economic alliance. Specifically, he noted that any effort to continue trading outside of the US dollar would result in 100% tariffs on the alliance. Despite this, the BRICS 2025 chairmanship holder, Brazil, has continued to discuss the need for economic reform on a global scale.
BRICS Remain Committed to De-Dollarization as Trump’s Threats Persist
The geopolitical arena is observing a standoff that could result in an eventual trade war.
Throughout last year, Donald Trump has championed the importance of the US dollar’s status as the world’s currency. Specifically, he noted that if the greenback was no longer a global reserve asset, it would be akin to the nation losing a war.
That led him to combat the growing BRICS alliance. Specifically, he went after the group for discussions they’d had in creating an alternate trade currency for the collective.
He warned of increased import taxes that would threaten their potential to benefit the economy from the US if they did not announce they were ceasing the project.
The group would deny the single currency plan but not its efforts to diversify trade settlement currencies. Now, the two have come to a head, as a recent BRICS statement signals further de-dollarization despite Trump’s most recent tariff threats.
Brazil has been elected as the current alliance president in their rotating leadership model. Let one not forget it was Brazil and President De Lula who first championed the idea of ditching the US dollar two years ago. Conversely, in a statement on the 2025 BRICS summit, they included economic and financial reform, according to a Yahoo report.
Specifically, they are seeking reformation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). More specifically, it is looking to bolster the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB). Known as the BRICS Bank, it has pioneered initiatives to further the use of local currencies in trade.
“US President Donald Trump has voiced anger at the proposal,” the report said. Moreover, it further creates the belief that those tariffs may well be implemented—a move that could have massive implications.
